It's an Agriotes Lineatus, otherwise known as a lined click beetle. I have always loved insects!

According to Wikipedia, they're boxelder bugs.

I stand corrected. They are very similar. I must try this new magnifier out on my iPhone!

No problem. We called them elder bugs when I was a kid. I thought they were named after my grandpa, Eldred.

Hey TP - LOL about the grandpa comment!
When I introduced my future wife, Susan, to my maternal grandfather (Grover) in the late 1960s, she later told me that 'he had the biggest ears of any old man she had ever seen' (pic of him below from the early '60s) - I told her that we called him Dumbo (jokingly, of course - he was a great guy - born when Grover Cleveland was president, hence his first name). Now, he was not my 'genetic' grandfather, so my ears are normal in size, I think? -

Reminds me of the artist R.C. Gorman (1931-2005) - just a print of his artwork below; Susan & I have collected art (mainly original prints) for decades, and I've always liked Gorman's prints but she was not as enthused, so we have none of his works, despite virtually all of the walls in our house filled w/ works of others; just curious if the artist of that sculpture was influenced by Gorman?

I don't know if there's any connection but here's the artist's website. SculpturesReminds me of the artist R.C.

Thanks SciFan.. - I was able to zoom on your image and saw her name, Judith Christine Mills - born in England (cannot find the year on her website) - now a Canadian w/ a remarkable gift for variety - her imagery and that of Gorman's is quite similar - will explore her website more. Dave
